Christoph Waltz is James Bond Villain in "Skyfall" Sequel

Javier Bardem played a very memorable villain in the last James Bond film "Skyfall," and now comes word that director Sam Mendes has found the actor to play the villain in the next installment.

According to The Daily Mail, Mendes has cast Christoph Waltz as the main antagonist. The actor previously played the villain in "Inglourious Basterds" and will play the main bad guy in "Horrible Bosses 2."

@Cannon - I know what you mean. My eyes rolled when I saw this post. As Waltz has fast become too recognizable an actor who can probably dial in this role. This overuse casting is almost like casting Christopher Walken as the villain (which they already did way back in A View to a Kill). Maybe they can do something with Waltz like put a friggin Bane mask on him, or give him a bionic arm. You're right, Bond writers are for the most part smart and have given today's villains an added twist like Le Chiffre on an inhaler/tearing eye ducts, or Silva's beach-blonde hair questionable homo act and removable jaw.
